The New York City mayor said in an interview broadcast on Saturday that the city's legal department is actively considering what the law allows it to do. "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He's a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court," Mamdani told a New York Times video podcast called "The Interview." Show more Show less
